Welcome to football season, also the time when #EduCoach is full of random hot takes on various decisions made by a random assortment of college coaches.
Why is it not a common understanding that if your device is making noise, you should have on headphones?! 😩

He, in fact, did not enjoy the adventure.
I think our location can no longer be described as "on the precipice."
I just finished the books so I can finish the show. I hated all of them by the end. It will continue to be corny, but is a good mindless watch. The music is great.
Just finished The Summer I Turned Pretty books because I like to know how shows end before I start them if possible. I just told my sister that I needed to see who she picks. But in the end I didn't care because I hated them all. It's Twilight all over again. 🤣
Today I am taking my cat on a 90 minute drive to see a behavioral specialist. I predict he will not enjoy this adventure.
Seeing their missteps on display—on a clip chart, for example—may not motivate students to improve their behavior, research shows. 📊
These evidence-based practices from teachers can serve as more effective alternatives.

Someday the NFHS will go three years without what feels like a complete overhaul of the spirit rules book, but today was not that day.
Introducing adult cats is a full time job.
Just realized that before school got out I prepped for a presentation I have next week. So happy with May me for being so productive! 🎉
So glad to meet in person!!
It was great to see a section of #CHI24 today! Hoping to catch up with everyone over the next few days. 😁
The goal would be to get them out of your house before that happens!
Got the badge in my email, so it feels more official. Proud to say I'm an ISTE+ASCD Certified Instructional Leader! #EduSky #EduCoach
A White House proposal would claw back already approved public media funding. Join me in the fight to save it. Contact Congress now. bit.ly/4izrxUn #ProtectMyPublicMedia
I shared this article in Wisconsin last week... AMAZING, right? I listen to several books a month now because of my commute to campus, and I've come to love being read to. How about you? #booklove
I was supposed to be on a vinyl purchasing freeze. Then this happened.
I’ve been screaming about this for a while. And AI fever is bound to make it worse.
“Even when phones are not present during the school day, students often have a device open in front of them which steals their attention and deteriorates their learning.”
There's no authors mentioned in 6-8. There is an appendix that has text examples of the Lexile ranges, but nothing in the standards themselves.
RL 7.5 references soliloquy and sonnet, which are often taught using Shakespeare, but it doesn't have to be.
Not many left at junior high. Programs are expensive to run, teachers are hard to find, time during the school day is limited, and many shifted to technology based classes. Variations are still at many high schools, but all electives. FACS - Family and Consumer Science covers a wide range of topics.
It took 35 minutes, but I survived and now have groceries.
Nothing brings people together like the need to grocery shop days before impending winter weather. This checkout line will take at least 30 minutes.
Come learn about our #CEL25 conference for literacy/ELA leaders!
On 1/16/25 at 7pm EST, conference chair Matthew Helmers and I will talk through the Call for Proposals and brainstorm sessions: traditional sessions & creative practice sessions!

I got sucked in with the Hogwarts sets. The new glitter garden set, or whatever it's called. I got so many 😭
Someone should have warned me how addictive these kits are.i have so many!
I showed a lot of restraint in not picking 100% purple outfits. 😂 Thanks @swiftalert13.swifties.social for one more Eras Mastermind!
Teachers help students grow, but who helps teachers? Coaching conversations—focused, intentional, and growth-driven—give educators space to reflect, build on strengths, and create positive change.
What could happen if every teacher had access to this kind of support? #EduSky #EduCoach
